## Example

In this example, we are passing the required parameters by the function transformation through a *Variables* object.

Where,

*str* = flourine-chlorine-bromine-iodine-astatine-helium-neon-argon,krypton,xenon

*separator1* = -

*separator2* = ,

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output*. You can see that Astera Data Stack has split the string into 10 parts based on the given separators.
